The Southern states are getting their share of the prosperity against which they igTtorantly voted. All the states producing cotton, and the states con suming all but K.MS bales out of l.C0. bales of cotton consumed in the South last year, voted against McKin ley. but the "advance agent" has brought better times to them as veil as to others, larger wages, better prof its ani happier homes. The South is actually getting eight cents for cotton at many points, and with t.Si cents quoted at New York, the highest price since October 5, the South is now working Into ck-th a larger share of the cotton It produces than in any previous year. The Southern con' sumption above mentioned was one- eightb of the entire crop in the cot ton year ending with last Auguest, and a greater quantity than the whole Northern states consumed as late aj lfs&Z; in fact, until twenty years ago the consumption of the whole country had never been as large as that of the South alone was last year. Yet the actual consumption this year is reckoned by The Financial Chronl de" as CtLOM bales in five montha. or 19 per cent larger than last year. After two hundred years or more It looks as if that strong and remarks We old document, the Westminster confession of Faith. must go. The iresbrterian world, led by Dr. Hillis and other eminent divines, is stirred to Its depths concerning the matter. Dr. Parkhurs; has gone so far as to tail fttis church creed ' a. libel on the infl lie grace of Cxi." Whatever may be gone, the associations connected with eea never be obliterated. It may see too harsh and repulsive for this strecneiy liberal day, but the fact remains that by Its fruits should It be judged It was formulated by sad be-j me the guide of the cleanest, asoal God-rearing and altogether Just set of men this world has ever seen. Narrow they may have truly been, but lean in their homes, chaste of life, loyal and patriotic as citizens and oiispicuous as lovers of liberty-the incarnation of every force that has sped civilization to its present height. Orim, perhaps forbidding, it was the anchorage of giants, the faith of a race which hated confusion and held Piety and hones living above all else. The woild needs nothing else so bad ly today. It is doubtful if the chaotic Emersonian sentiment of the present day leligious world will bind as fast or produce so strong and admirable a type of man. If the people of the South were ac tuated by principle or eonsistency, rather than by passion or prejudice in their political alignment, the wannest supporters of the republican party's Puerto P.ican policy would be found in that section. That there is an over wbelmirg sentiment in the South fav orii.g the annexation of the Hawaiian islands and the retention of the Phil ippines no cl'se observer of the s:gns of the time? can doub' In the list of prominent r;ews;aper eci'.ors who hae discussed the 'jvestion of ex r.nEion in the May number of the National Jla-azin-, no argument is stronger for the retention of the Phil ippines than that of Henry Wa:eron, of the Louisville Courier Journal. Mr. Waterson takes the ground that, with th completion of the Nicaraguan canal, no sec tion of the country stands to realize as much from the markets of cur island possessions as the South. Through the policy of expansion, Mr. Waterson says, the states of Georgia, Louisiana. Alabama, Virginia, the Car olina, and others stand to regain the "prestige and opulence" they once en jojed. There is little doubt therefore, that the South in voting for Bryan this time win do ao with the full ss asr&nce and secret satisfaction of feel- Ing thai hi defeat Is fore-ordalued and that the republican party will be a tie to compute its grvat policy of ex pnlon ur.Jor (he next administration. Yet the votes and voices of Southern senators and rcprmn-ntaiivis In con gress were given the other day in favor of eatablixhing a precedent In the government of :-ur island posses sions that if admitted would place the government of those sections of the Union in the hands of ignorant and even barbarous natives and delay the peace and civilization upon which our only prospect of trade can dtpend. If the constitution extends over Puerto Ki oo as a matter of law and Jus tice, then by the same principle It must be held to so urply to the Thil Irp'n.'S, As everybody Is aware, the negroes, Mal.i)j and Mongolians con stitute the majority of the inhabitants of the Philippines. In many islands nothing but the superior weapors and discipline of civilization keep down a majority of barbarians. Only in a few of the islands could the more civilized Malay and mestizo inhabitants with the hites claim a majority, and even of that majority probably nine-tenths could not read. It Is this amazing de mand that Ignorance shall be charg ed with entire responsibility for the future of the Philippine islands, and that negrv and Mongolian blood shall be permuted to rule over whites, as tbey are no', permitted In democratic states in the South, which puts the demucrats In this country in the most disgraceful and indefensible position ir.ey nave ever lanen. slavery was hostile to advancing civilization, and ye; was sheltered by the constitution. The theory of state sovereignty made a great nation impossible, but was honestly believed to be the theory of the constitution by many. Excuses can be found for the democrats who fought in gray uniforms. But the very men who took up anna against the republic would have been the first, if livinff today, to Jenuace with ail the passionate earnestness of their na tures the proposal to turn over the Philippine Islands to the rule of Ala utjs, -uongonans, metixos, savages In l a m it the woods and mountains, and a oopu lation almost wholly destitute of even the rudest education. CALI. FOR CONGRESSIOXAT. ic. TION IN KE.NTCCKT. Says the Su Louis Globe-Deraocrs It will be hard to prove that the entire republican party of Kentucky flred the one bullet that killed Got- beL" That, however, is what the Goebel ites wuuJl like to prove. Tne coarse of that faction of the democratic par ty, for not all Kentucky democrats are in sympathy with lawlessness and misrule, when not absurd, has been treacheavue and scandalous in th ex treme. Governs Taylor, who realis ed the situation better tbaa any oat aider, pursued the right sours at the first in summoning th state militia to check their revolutionary attempts, but outsiders. ho apparently could not conceive that any body of Amer ican alliens could descend to in jAi.uicai iniamy tnese men have reached, felt that the governor was too radical in his course. They must see their error now. The nvr. nor who was elected bv & bie ma. onty of the vote of the decent, law- abiding men of both parties, consented to send the ,.i.!ir hom. . . 6 c I -ne Oc-ebelites a chance to rediem their Promises that the civil law should take its course without interference I TV. ; .... . j 'iva nas itagia'iviy uroKen and the course of the Goebelites is mors high-handed, if possible, then ever, the law is distorted, snd its execution a mire travesty. Deputy sherirTs appointed from the worst ele ment of Louisville, crowd the courts at Frankfort, and reputable citizens have been seized on the perjured testi mony of men wl-.hout character, and held on infamous charges. This condition of affairs moves so stanch a republican papir as the Dayton (O.) Journal to de-.lare: It is indeed time for the president to take a hand and turn the whole tate of Kentucky over to a congres sional Investigating committee with full power. Every effort to open-the way for these people to settle their own difficulties has been closed up by some outr.tgeoug abuse of opportunity by th.-se democratic demagogic out laws." In this the "republican form of gov etcrrer.l" all states of the Union are s-jpposed to have that now prevails in Kentucky?
